Here are some of the key tasks before we start the actual implementation:
Software: Download VMware vRealize Orchestrator OVA to a file share within the target datacenter.
Hostnames and IP address planning: Based on your enterprise naming convention, list the hostname and IP address for vRO nodes including the virtual IP in the load balancer.
SSL certificate generation: Signed or self-signed certificates should be created to contain the Orchestrator virtual IP and the Orchestrator node's hostnames in the SubjectAltNames section. This allows traffic to be served by the load balancer without throwing SSL errors. We will leverage a certification generation tool for this task; refer to— kb.vmware.com/kb/2107816.
Create DNS entries: FQDNs will be used throughout our installation. Manually create a record (forward lookup) and a PTR record (reverse lookup) for Linux-based VMware virtual appliances and load balancer virtual addresses.
Load balancer configuration: Commonly...
